TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

During Scan, if a key is programmed with the Scan Temporary Delete function, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence. When Scan stops at a channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning sequence by pressing the Scan Temporary Delete key.

•To add the channel back into the Scan list, simply exit Scan mode or switch the transceiver OFF and then ON again.

REVERT CHANNEL

During Scan, pressing the PTT switch to transmit will cause the transceiver to select the revert channel. Your dealer can program the revert channel using one of the following methods:

•Last Called: The last channel received is assigned as the new revert channel.

•Last Used: The last channel responded to is assigned as the new revert channel.

•Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as the new revert channel.

•Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been changed during Scan, the newly selected channel is assigned as the new revert channel. However, the transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan is currently paused.

•Priority: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, it is the revert channel.

•Priority + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, it is the revert channel. However, the transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan is currently paused.
